HNBA and its fully owned subsidiary, HNB General Insurance Ltd. (HNBGI) Chief Executive Officer Prasantha Fernando stated, “Our team members have yet again proven their winning spirit by claiming a number of prestigious awards, competing against many top professionals in the industry. Each award is a testament to their dedication, commitment, and contribution not only to the company but to the industry as a whole. Whilst applauding them for their significant achievements, I wish to thank them for their contribution and hard work especially during these challenging times and for reinforcing the company’s vision for excellence, and I truly hope that this would motivate other insurance sales professionals to keep moving forward.”

Sharing his thoughts, HNBA Chief Operating Officer Lasitha Wimalaratne stated, “These awards speak volumes for the passion as well as the drive to succeed that is within our people. Winning an industry award is by no means a small achievement as several factors such as the number of policies generated by each individual, persistency as well as the period of service and many other factors are taken into consideration in selecting the recipient for each award and one competes with the best sales personnel across the industry. I need to make special mention of S.A. Baker and V.P. Kamalani for winning Gold awards and surpassing many of their peers within the industry. I hope that this winning spirit will set an example and encourage and motive more insurance sales professionals to claim such awards and kudos to all the winners.”
